PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Oshkosh in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is
planning the reconstruction of Ohio Street (STH 44) from W. South Park Avenue to about 380
feet south of Witzel Avenue. The project will include the complete reconstruction of the
roadway including the replacement of existing water and sewer lines. The back of the
reconstructed sidewalks will be on the existing right of way line limiting the need for additional
right of way acquisition. Temporary limited easements will be required along the length of the
project to facilitate the construction of the sidewalks on the existing right of way line. Twenty-
five small parcels of land will be acquired in fee to build the handicap accessible sidewalk
ramps. After a review of the plat and design study report, it is understood that there are 52 total
parcels. Twenty five parcels include the acquisition of fee and TLE interests and 27 include the:
acquisition of a TLE interest only. Given the nature of the proposed acquisitions, all of the
parcels are considered to be nominal. If there are parcels that require an appraisal from a
Certified appraiser, those will be appraised by J.C. Norby and Associates ofEau Claire at costs
that will be additional to this proposal. At this time, appraisals from a certified appraiser are not
considered to be required. There are also 49 existing encroachments on the project, 26 of which
will need to be moved as they presently constitute a traffic hazard. As part of this proposal, all
of the encroachments will be addressed by either their removal or revocable occupancy permit.
It is also understood that there are Federal funds in the right of way of the project. This will
require the review and approval of any appraisals and the establishment of offering prices by a
Wisconsin Department of Transportation review appraiser as well as the City of Oshkosh.
The construction project is to take place in 2008 with a letting in December of2007 and a PS&E
date of August 1, 2007.
,.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Management Plan
Timbers-Selissen will provide a team that represents an abundance of expertise and experience in
all facets of the right of way field. All of the work proposed here will be completed from our
Eau Claire office. Although the completion date of August 1, 2007 appears to be far away, the
following schedule shows the successful completion of this project by that date will depend upon
prompt approval of the real estate services contract, minimal design changes, prompt approval of
offering prices by both the City of Oshkosh and WisDOT, and having enough competent agents
in the field to meet the schedule. Timbers-Selissen can provide five qualified State approved
negotiators as well as enough support staff to complete the project on time.
Project Schedule
A project schedule is provided below. This schedule is dependent upon minimal design changes

It is proposed that the project manager and contact person be Mr. David Selissen of Timbers-
Selissen Land Specialists, Inc. Currently Mr. Selissen is fmalizing the management of the
STH 29/I39 interchange project which requires the relocation of 34 businesses and acquisition of
35 parcels.
The general management duties are considered to be the following:
· Ensure all statutory requirements are met as established by the Bureau of Highway ReaJ
Estate (i.e. the United States and State of Wisconsin Constitutions, The Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970; URARP A,
as amended; 49 CFR 24.101(13), 201 (d), and Wisconsin State Statute Chapter 32).
· Provide the professional staff to maintain project schedules and quality.
· Coordinate the various tasks to ensure a seamless transition between those tasks.
· Coordinate plat revisions.
· Prepare RJW certifications.
The specific duties of the Project Manager are considered to be the following:
· Develop, based on overall project timelines, an acquisition schedule. Timbers-Selissen
agrees to complete the acquisition of all parcels and disposition of all existing
encroachments on or before August I, 2007.
· Direct adequate acquisition resources to maintain quality and acquisition schedules.
· Review and recommend possible administrative revisions.
· Review vouchers and recommend payment.
· Maintain overall project acquisition consistency.
· Compile accurate acquisition status information electronically.
· Coordinate the removal of or issuance of a revocable permit for all existing
encroachments.
We have created an experienced team with enough members to complete the necessary
acquisition services. Initial abstracts should be provided by the project plat preparer. Costs for
any updates of title are part of the per parcel acquisition fee.
A status sheet will be maintained on an ongoing basis and submitted to the client upon request.
The manager will be available for meetings with the client when needed.
Costs for management services are included in the per parcel rates on the acquisition
services fee schedule.
Client/Consultant Coordination
We will prepare a detailed spreadsheet to track parcel progress and update it on an ongoing basis.
It will be sent to the client on a monthly basis or as needed.
PROJECT TASKS
Appraisal
As discussed above, all of the parcels are considered to be nominal in nature. That is, none of
the parcels would need to be appraised by a State Certified appraiser. If it becomes apparent that
such an appraisal is required, it would be prepared by J.C. Norby and Associates and the costs
would be additional to this proposal. Of the 52 nominal parcels it is considered likely that about
eight would have to be appraised. Those appraisals would be provided by staff from
Timbers-Selissen at a rate of $500 per parcel. At this time, it is not a requirement that the
nominal appraisals be prepared by a State Certified appraiser.
Sales Study
A comprehensive project sales study will be prepared by Timbers-Selissen. The Sales
Study will contain:
· . A general description of the project area and neighborhood, along with an
analysis of real estate trends and property values.
· Individual sale data sheets for each comparable sale to be prepared as directed in
the WisDOT Program Manual.
· A summary of market data worked up by each type or classification.
· A Location Map showing all sales locations.
· Other applicable aids considered including but not limited to:
· Flood plain maps
· Topographical Maps
· Utility Location Maps
· Zoning Maps and Ordinances
· Soil Maps
· Aerial Maps of the Project Area
Appraisal Formats
The appraisal formats to be used by the project appraisers are the Short Format or Non-
Detailed Appraisal, Standard Abbreviated, Standard or Detailed Appraisal and Standard
Before and After Report. The Short format will be used primarily for nominal parcels
when needed and is explained below.
Short Format or Non-Detailed Appraisal
A short format appraisal report is applicable primarily for nominal parcels where
the owner's request an appraisal. These are non-complex whole or partial strip-
type acquisitions. This type of appraisal includes the use of the sales comparison
approach and may include minor out-buildings, wells, septic systems, driveways
or items oflandscaping, which can be evaluated by the Cost Approach.
The short format appraisal report will be used on the project only when:
· The appraisal problem is non-complex and adequate market data is
available.
· Highest and best use is the present use and is not changed by the proposed!
improvement.
· There are no substantial damages to the remainder and no special benefits.
Acquisition
Our firm offers Robert Timbers, David Selissen, Kathy Rudolph, Beth Steinhauer and Karla
Wald as agents. All of our acquisition agents have solid acquisition experience in the right of
way acquisition field and their resumes are attached. The costs for the necessary acquisition
services are on a per parcel basis of $500 for the TLE only parcels and $800 for the FeeffLE
parcels.
In addition to the acquisition of property rights from private owners, our agents are experienced
in the acquisition of utility rights which may be required by this project.
Acquisition Tasks
Our team will provide complete and fully documented negotiation services. These
services will be provided in conformance with the WisDOT manual, the Wisconsin
Statutes, other appropriate and pertinent State and Federal laws, policies and guidelines.
We would ask the client to provide the following:
. Most up to date plats (ongoing)
. Most up to date construction plans/profile/cross sections (ongoing)
. Initial Title Searches (from plat preparer)
. Legal descriptions of the acquisitions
. Approved Relocation Order
At the completion of the project, we will supply the client with individual parcel folders

We will send an Introduction/Brochure letter and "Rights of Landowners Under
Wisconsin Eminent Domain Law" brochure to each parcel owner.
Our acquisition team will assume responsibility for the final disposition of the acquisition
including voucher, payment, recording, and all condemnation actions required.
We will prepare a Nominal Payment Parcel Report for submittal to WisDOT and Client
for consideration and approval. We will be responsible for the negotiation and appraisal
of those parcels identified as nominals.
Any appraisal reports received from the property owners shall be handled in accordance
with the WisDOT manual. We will submit a copy of the Appraisal Report along with a
recommendation for payment or non-payment, to WisDOT and/or Client for review if
requested.
When Administrative Revisions are warranted due to errors, design changes, owner's
counter offers, litigation protection or other reasons, we will attempt to secure a purchase
agreement from the owner subject to WisDOT and Client approval in the case of a minor
adjustment. When a significant increase is involved, we will recommend that a
conference be set up with WisDOT and Client to discuss the proposed settlement prior to
making any commitments to the property owner. We will be prepared to present a
recommendation and justification by means of factual data available. In either event we
will formally submit an Administrative Revision to WisDOT and Client for consideration
and approval.
Utility Coordination
It is understood that the securing the releases of rights for utilities is not part of the
propOsal.
